BlackWinny Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Hello everybody ! I've just changed my system drive and reinstalled Windows 10. It is the version 1703 of Windows. In 64-bit. And in French (my wife doesn't speak English). I want to reinstall CCleaner on this fresh new drive but the installation fails. Even in administrator mode. The message is: Error opening file for writing: \lang\lang-1031.dll I repeat: even in administrative mode. Here is an image of the message: And all the language DLL files are shown ones after the others if I click "Ignore". And at the end it installs... but in the root of the drive ! And I have exactly the same error during the installation of Recuva. I haven't tried yet with Defrag nor with Speccy. What happens ? And how to address this issue ? Perhaps a clue... Here is the log: Thank you ! Jacques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APMichael Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Sadly, I don't know why this happens on your system, but you can try to customize the installation: Click on "Customize" (below the blue "Install" Button), then click on "More" (also below a blue "Install" Button) and check the path, respectively enter "C:\Program Files\CCleaner" as the correct path.

Moderators mta Posted July 6, 2017 Moderators Share Posted July 6, 2017 you could try uninstalling the current software, delete the Program Files folder for the software in question, reboot the PC and reinstall. or simply use the Portable build from here; http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackWinny Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 @APMichael Done. It doesn't change anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackWinny Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 ... or simply use the Portable build from here; http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds Perfect ! It of course doesn't explain the reason of the issue... but it has solved my problem so that now I can reuse CCleaner. With your tip I have also managed to reinstall Degraggler, and Speccy. But the download link of Recuva Portable doesn't work, though present (see below). The action goes immediately to reopen the home page of Piriform. For the record, I remind the address of the pages where can be found the portable editions: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds http://www.piriform.com/defraggler/builds http://www.piriform.com/recuva/builds http://www.piriform.com/speccy/builds EDIT: for Recuva I have managed by using a direct link: http://www.piriform.com/recuva/download/portable/downloadfile Thanks a lot !
